Pollution Begets Pollution

To those who may have wondered what these things are: A few weeks back we had a significant oil spill in the San Francisco Bay, when a cargo ship brushed against the side of the SF/Oakland Bay Bridge (you may have heard of it). This took place about 5 miles from this location. In order to contain the spill, in some locations, "booms" made up of rubberized sheets separated by floats were lowered into the water. What you see here is one of those booms apparently forgotten and washed up on the shore. (For some reason, this particular stretch of beach attracts all the undesirable stuff from the Bay.) Seemed like a good spot to look for "pollution" in action and we found some.

Needed to get up close and personal with this subject, otherwise "Petro Boom" could not be read and the irony of this situation would have been lost.

I think if this was better lit, it could have a shot at a medal.

I think this shot is pretty good just the way you set it up. I don't think there is much more you need to do to "save the shot" with post processing. I think this shot was quite successful. I would be more inclined to continue experiments using variations of pyrotechniks, reflective sources and subjects or combinations of subjects. This shot has certainly given me some inspiration.

Another masterpiece. I have since added you to my favorities. Because of your consistently creative concepts with the talent to make them come alive. You have also regularly demonstrated photgraphic and post processing skill.
